StarMan vs Great Puma: Best-of-9 Series to Unify the VWA and VWF Titles


this is a video i recorded using the FCEUX Emulator, the Pro Wrestling for NES/Famicom game, and Windows Movie Maker.

my wrestler of choice, StarMan, is the Video Wrestling Association (VWA) champion and has completed defending the belt against Fighter Hayabusa, Kin Corn Karn, Giant Panther, The Amazon, and King Slender. i have uploaded these matches in my YouTube channel, and just in case you want to watch them, here's my link: http://www.youtube.com/user/lambanogpusher

StarMan now faces the Video Wrestling Federation (VWF) champion, Great Puma in a Best of 9 series in order to unify the VWA and VWF titles. in the normal game, there is only one match to unify the belts, with the player being given a rematch if he loses the first match. in this case, i made up a storyline in which the two combatants face each other in 9 possible matches with the stipulation being a race to get 5 wins - whoever accomplishes this will be the unified VWA and VWF champion. i have posted the 9 matches (separately, of course) in my YouTube channel and did this project as a music playlist/video tribute of sorts.

again, this is the pro wrestling geek in me writing. i even went as far as re-arranging the sequence of the matches, depending on the endings, for a supposed dramatic/climactic build-up - i even made a run sheet to get things right, as i didn't want any mistakes. i don't really expect everyone to like this project, but this is just something i am passionate about - if some of my friends are into photography, outdoor activities, coffee, koreanovelas, or harry potter, then i guess i'm just the token professional wrestling nerd. and as weird as it may sound, i enjoy doing a project like this every once in a while because it makes me feel good and alive.

i do not own the songs i have used in making this video, and i am not making any illegal profits by posting this. thus, i have rightfully acknowledged each track used in the last two slides of this work.

at the back of my mind is this song



this is a song by one of my favorite bands, Ash. sobrang nagagandahan lang talaga ako sa kabuuan niya, from the lyrics to the melody to the music. i think that Tim Wheeler and Charlotte Hatherley had a great guitar harmony here. siyempre, solid rhythm section pa rin sina Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray. sana bumalik sa kanila si Charlotte (wishful thinking). i won't tell you that this is a good song, you just have to listen and be the judge yourself. bottomline is, i love this song. =O)>


Shining Light
Ash

Roman candles that burn in the night,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
You lit a torch in the infinite,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
Yeah, you light up my life.

You have always been a thorn in their side,
But to me you're a shining light.
You arrive and the night is alive,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
Yeah, you light up my life.

We made a connection,
A full on chemical reaction,
Brought by dark divine intervention,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
A constellation once seen,
Over Royal David's city,
An epiphany you burn so pretty,
Yeah, you are a shining light.

You are a force
You are a constant source,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
Incandescent in the darkest night,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
Yeah, you light up my life.

We made a connection,
A full on chemical reaction,
Brought by dark divine intervention,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
A constellation once seen,
Over Royal David's city,
An epiphany you burn so pretty,
Yeah, you are a shining light.

These are the days you often say
There's nothing that we cannot do,
Beneath a canopy of stars
I'd shed blood for you.

We made a connection,
A full on chemical reaction,
Brought by dark divine intervention,
Yeah, you are a shining light.
A constellation once seen,
Over Royal David's city,
An epiphany you burn so pretty,
Yeah, you are a shining light,
Yeah, you light up my life.
Yeah you are a shining light,
Yeah you light up my life.

purple kush: revised, 10-3-2010




i posted this revised version on my YouTube channel earlier. here's the link and a short write-up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy9VF0LcY38

this is a revised version of purple kush - a video i made a week before - with a basic structure. i decided to do this with a clean tone, i.e., no overdrive effect, as i like to have it as stripped down to the basic as possible. my playing still sucks, but this isn't final yet so just cut me some slack.
